I had az interview down IN tho country

III Everybody SPOKE the Truth.

Many have stated with an apparent de-
gree Of honesty that IL every one had
stopped their harmless lies and always
spoke exactly az they thought that there
would be an end 10 all social intercourse,
and that polite society would be relegated
TO chaos Ii is considered absolutely
necessary to pretend an intense interest in
the health or pastimes Of each last now nc
quaintgnce, and TO flatter without the
least attempt Mt harmonizinR our fiattery
with the facts Of the case. II is possible
that il might sound little strange at first
il the fair, stout and somewhat aged lady
were told that If she really wished TO APP
pear youthful and attractive she would
stop lacing until she could scarcely
breathe and eating until she lost the
power of thought. There would be GER
tain chilliness in her manner toward the
first bold eXperimenter that essayed such
candor, but rs she continued TO hear the
same thing from every one she met, she
would conclude ut last that she herself
was TO blame, and by careful study of the
laws Of health and earnest improvement
OF her intellect, she would soon deserve
sincerest praise and laugh at her former
absurd appearance and condition.
The shocks to the self esteem Of con-
ccitcd men would likewise be severe If
they met only with those who stead
tasty refused to treat them upon their
own estimate and insisted upon a critical
analysis Of their claims TO superiority.
That humble instrument, the chestnut
gong, was feeble protest Of n suffering
world against the tedious and pompous
fools who do so much to destroy all the
pleasures Of human intercourse. The art
of telling the truth would go n great deal
further, however, than merely showing up
q few old frauds; il would be an open
sesame 10 all the secrets Of business, poll
tics and religion. When one gets in the
way of always speaking OF things exactly
as they are, there comes TO such an ex-
pansion of mind which is, after all, the
only real experience Of lfe.-Rhode

The Medical News has been made by DR..
y. Pcyrc Pocher, Of Charleston, on the
influence OF the recent earthquake shocks
in that city upon the health OF the inhab-
itants. In addition to the natural alarm
and fright which were quito universal,
some persons were attacked with nausea
and vomiting. which REQUIRED or persisted
in several cases for days. Two gentlemen
ON the islands eighty miles from Charles
ton had their eyes Sled with tears not 10
be rcprcssed, but not caused by alarm or
fccrs for their personal safety, for the
danger there was not imminent. Many
persons experienced decidedly electrical
disturbances which were repeated on the
successive recurrence Of the shocks. These
were generally tingling prickling sensa-
tons, like needles and pins affecting
the lower eXtremitics. One gentleman
WIS completely relieved Of his rheumatism
another. who for months was nervous,
depressed and entirely unable TO attend to
business regaincd his former activity and
energy. Several cases Of mental disturb
ance, owing TO anxiety and prolonged loss
of rest, some Of them persistent, occurred
among DR.. Pocher's patients. Public
